Meet The Honorary ‘Real Trix Bunny’
HOUSTON, TEXAS — A two-pound Holland Lop from Houston hopped to the top of a contest to name an honorary “Real Trix Rabbit.”
Cinnabun beat out nearly 7,600 silly rabbits whose photos were submitted on RealTrixRabbit.com during a three-week contest in October.
Today, after Trix announced Cinnabun was the winner, he received the VIB — Very Important Bunny — treatment in his hometown.
A limousine service chauffeured him to local news stations before he hopped up the red carpet at a Kroger store in Houston for the ceremony to unveil his commemorative Trix box.
While the iconic Trix Rabbit on our packaging isn’t going anywhere, Cinnabun seemed to enjoy having a limited-supply of his own boxes to paw-tograph and share with friends and family.
His owner, Natalie Tran, says she was surprised when she learned that her beloved bunny Cinnabun won, and was even more surprised at all of the attention he received because of the honorary title.
“It’s kind of unbelievable that they picked him out of thousands of bunnies,” Tran says. “It feels surreal. I never thought I’d be in this kind of situation in my life. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
